Preparing for a Career in Clinical Research in Kidney & Urologic Diseases
A Practical Workshop for Fellows and Junior Faculty
Omni Shoreham Hotel
Washington, D.C.
July 9-10, 2004
Summary
The goal of the program is to provide a broader knowledge base for participants, so that they compete more effectively for research funding.
Highly trained clinical researchers are needed to capitalize on the many profound developments and discoveries in the basic sciences, and to translate them to clinical settings. Unfortunately, formal training in clinical research is often fragmented, producing a workforce that is unprepared for such tasks. The Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is sponsoring a workshop, Preparing for a Clinical Research Career in Kidney & Urologic Diseases, a two-day opportunity to learn the skills needed for a successful clinical research career and the skills to effectively compete for research funding. The training program will include state-of-the-art lectures, mentored training sessions on clinical research and study design for kidney and urologic diseases, grant writing, and a mock study section.
